The Research
Research on effective vs. ineffective teachers and leaders clearly indicates there is a great cost to student learning as a result of having ineffective teachers and leaders in our school.

Residual Effect
Two years of effective teachers could not remediate the achievement loss caused by one year with a poor teacher.

Spillover Effect
Jackon & Bruegmann, American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (2009)
Student achievement rises across a grade when a high-quality teacher comes on board: one-tenth to one-fifth the impact of replacing the students’ own teacher!
![Page 16: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Effectiveness is the goal.
Evaluation is merely the means.

Observations
May take a variety of forms• Formal observation• Informal observation• Walk-through observation• Announced or unannounced
May occur in a variety of settings• Classroom environment• Non-classroom settings
![Page 26: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Formal Observations
• Directly focused on teacher performance standards• Announced or unannounced
• at least 20 minutes in duration
• Teachers observed at least twice per year• Additional observations at evaluator’s discretion• At least one pre-observation conference for teachers
during their first year in district• Evaluator feedback during post-observation conference• Observation forms kept in OASYS database
![Page 27: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Documentation Log
• Evidence of performance related to specific standards
• Educator’s voice in the process
• Complements classroom observation
• Includes both specific required artifacts and teacher-selected artifacts
• Emphasis is on quality, not quantity
• Collected throughout the year
• Reviewed by evaluator by mid-year for probationary teachers; by early May for all teachers
• Artifacts uploaded into OASYS database
![Page 28: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Student Surveys
• Provide students’ perceptions of how teacher is performing -- direct knowledge of classroom practices
• All teachers survey students twice per year• Age considerations for survey• Surveys are anonymous• Actual responses seen only by individual teacher• Teachers fill out Student Survey Growth Plan and
Student Survey Analysis and include in documentation log
![Page 30: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Self-Assessment of Professional Practice
• Reflect on effectiveness and adequacy of practice• Based on each performance standard• Consider performance indicators for examples of
behaviors exemplifying each standard• One area of strength per standard• One area of growth, along with strategies for growth,
per standard
![Page 31: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Student Learning Objectives
• Detailed, measureable goals for student academic growth
• Set at the beginning of the year• Based on SMART goal format• Individual teacher or group goals• Classroom or subsets of students• Approved by principal/supervisor• Mid-year check point• End-of-year evaluation – how did we do?
![Page 32: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How will teacher performance be rated?

• Does NOT include rating of performance
Summative Evaluation
• Comes at end of evaluation cycle
• Four point rating scale
• Performance rubric for every standard
• Rating based on “preponderance of evidence”
• Summative evaluation form in OASYS

DistinguishedThe teacher maintains performance, accomplishments, and behaviors that consistently surpass the established standard.

• Willing to learn and apply new skills
Developing/ Needs Improvement
The teacher is inconsistent in meeting standards and/or in working toward the school’s missions and goals.
• Requires support in meeting the standards• Results in less than quality work performance• Leads to areas for teacher improvement being
jointly identified and planned between teacher and evaluator
Unacceptable
The teacher consistently performs below the established standards or in a manner that is inconsistent with the school’s missions and goals.
• Does not meet requirements contained in job description as expressed in evaluation criteria

Questionson the
process?
![Page 36: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Look Fors & Red Flags
• “Look Fors”– What do we WANT to
see in each standard?– Exemplary behaviors
• “Red Flags”– What should we NOT
see?– What is cause for
alarm or concern?
![Page 37: In partnership with](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813cdf550346895da68526/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ACTIVITY
• Groups of 6 – one group per standard• Identify a recorder• 2 minutes at each standard
– Document look fors AND red flags– Rotate to the next standard
• Last reporter at each standard will report out to the large group
